I am so sorry for your loss. I do understand the depth of feelings that is involved with loss. I’ve told you before that I lost both my parents last year. So my thoughts and prayers are with you. I too am a lunar follower. I spend as much time as I can sitting under the moon. It’s also when I do most of my rituals and spellwork. The tree farm that you showed here looks amazing! As a child, my father used to take me to tree farms. He was devoted to taking home live trees for Christmas and then re-planting them for years to come. Your videos are very special to me so thank you for sharing!
Hi, Megan, thank you for your kind words and I know you understand, with your recent losses ❤ Ah, you are also another moon follower 😁 🌕 I love that you have fond memories of trees from your childhood, and that your father used potted trees. Thank you for watching, as always ❤
Man, darkness of light is so gorgeous and one I’ve always wanted but never followed through on. I love the dog, the majors and coloring. Love your tree farm ritual. I don’t have my own home at the moment but hoping to find a chemical free tree farm next year to start that ritual in my next and hopefully forever home. I’m very sorry for your loss. Wishing you a magical new year!
Hi, Una! It's been so nice to hear from you😊 I hope you find a cozy new home that brings you an abundance of peace and joy. I am glad I came back to the Darkness of Light deck, and hoping he might print more in the future. Sending you wishes for magical moments throughout the new year ✨
I'm so sorry for your loss. Darkness of Light, such a great deck. I parted with it because of the limited color palette, but that Queen of Blades is one of my favorite queens ever!
@@themoreintuitiveme Thank you for your kind words, and for watching! Understandable about the color palette! And I totally agree with you on the Queen of Blades 🗡️🔥
Truly sorry to hear about your loss... my thoughts go out to you 🖤 I remember hearing you talk about getting the fir tree last year, and it just made me realize how quickly time has passed! Love the mod using metallic markers 😊 and those three decks do work incredibly well together, happy for you that you've been able to reconnect and work with them again ✨
Hi, Mooncat! Thank you for your condolences, and your understanding 💙 I agree, I can't believe how quickly the year passed, too 😱 I am pretty happy with the paint modification, otherwise those 3 cards would have been dealbreakers in regards to keeping/ using the deck, I think! Thanks for watching and I am excited to see you posted a new video, so will be checking that out soon 😊❤
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. That’s such a heavy thing to go through, and I just want to say I see you, hear ya, and truly feel ya. I’m holding space for you and wishing you strength as you navigate this ❤ As for content just YASSS! Winter time is 💯 percent about tea and resin 🥰🤗 the BEST! And PLEASE keep us posted on tealight containers! Would LOVE to have a solution as well (sadly, nothing to contribute) 🙈 thanks for sharing!!
Hi, and thank you for your supportive words... it helps to know we are not alone in these things ❤ I am glad you are enjoying the tea and resin season, too 😊 I will be sure to update on any tealight container developments! I am determined to find a way to reuse them 😅 Thank you so much for watching ✨
Aww I love your tree and the ornaments ❤ I feel validated too! I keep my tree up until March usually. Your full moon ritual sounds perfect. I’ve been burning frankincense resin too lately. I finally found a burner made of soapstone I really love. Darkness of Light is so beautiful. It’s a deck I have a habit of missing out on: whenever I try to buy it, it’s unavailable, but that’s ok… I don’t need ALL the decks 😂 That Ten of Coins! 🥹 I love that! Really enjoyed the pairings too. ❤❤❤
It is so nice to have the extended tree time... love that you keep your through March! You must get a hardy type of tree... our Doug firs would have shed all their needles by then 😆 You've been burning frankincense, too? This season is perfect for it! I hope I get to see your burner...perhaps in a video 😊 ... soapstone is my favorite kind so far. I have a white border copy of DOL if you are interested. Let me know ❤
Haha yes, our tree is the hardy type indeed: it’s artificial. We used to get the real thing, but over the years it proved to be an added stress for us and I grew up with an artificial tree so I like it. Your tradition sounds beautiful and fun though, and from an ethical source, nothing like what we used to go through. Yes I’ve been burning frankincense resin! I had meant to show it in my latest video and I forgot! You have a copy of DOL you don’t want? Oh my gosh, hmm! 🤔 I’d love one! We’ll talk about it ❤
Your tree tradition has inspired me for next year! Thanks for sharing it. I actually passed on my Darkness of Light Tarot because I just could not stand those weird goofy faces on the celestial cards. It made the deck unusable for me. Darn! I wish I had thought about painting over them. What did you use for that? The Herbal Astro deck is one of my favorites. I love the muted color palette, the range of herbs included, and the guidebook. Love your idea about the door closing and another opening. I’m going to try it!
@@weststartarot-Liz Hi! To paint over the faces, I just used acrylic paint... those small bottles you can find in craft stores. I have two copies of DOL with two different card stocks (linen and other) and painted over both sets of celestial faces and it worked great on both. I actually even scraped it off with my fingernail on my second copy because I am planning on giving it away. So, I discovered it also can come off (with a little elbow grease) if needed! The Herbal Astrology is such a fantastic deck! I am so glad I discovered I wanted to keep it 😅 I am so glad you found some inspiration from this video ✨
@@tarottarantulas Hello! Ha, yes, the imagery is so good! I really enjoyed hanging out with it, perfect Winter vibes and back to the top of my favorite decks ✨
Speaking to the matter of grief work - I wonder if you're familiar with Chelsea Granger's book 'So Many Ways To Draw A Ghost'. She created the Dirt Gems illustrations, and the subtitle of her book is Death, Grief, and Joy/writing, drawings, comics and paintings by Chelsea Granger with contributing writers and artists. I've been considering the value of making a video about it. Let me know if you'd be interested in that, and I'll bump it up on my to-do list. 💚💙💜

Me instantly clicking because of the DOL Hermit card on the thumbnail. All-time fav deck. Lol

@ Wow, thank you!
